Scottish Green Party 28/04/2014 Party Election Broadcasts for the European Parliament

Europe. A community of nations which can do no wrong.

A perfect brotherhood in which we all share. From free money to

social mobility, the benefits are obvious to being in...

Europe. They've bled us dry.

Hampering a British recovery and harping on about climate change.

It's time to get out. It's time to get...

..involved.

It's almost 20 years since we won Eurovision.

We can't let that record stand.

We need to hang out with Europe, share a coffee,

share the calamari, share the...

..subsidies.

The EU are getting honest British bangers to move aside

for bratwurst and taramasalami.

Europe is holding us back and making us pay...

..vastly reasonable prices for all the much better goods

that we enjoy from the Continent, thanks to one

or two lovely secret trade deals

that people like you don't need to know about.

All you need to do is say...

..no to the EU and we'll be able to shoot grouse

and frack the great British land as much as...

We will absolutely, categorically take no position

on fracking that might make us look bad in the future.

There's no evidence that it will result in...

..endless floods of foreign workers...

..enriching our tired businesses. Oh, let's buy the Continent a croissant

and say, "Oui, oui!" Let's open all the doors.

Let's batten down the hatches against...

10 million new jobs...

20 million immigrants...

School siestas for the under-fives...

Compulsory Esperanto at A-level!

That's why, when it comes to Europe, the answer's simple.

BOTH: On the 22nd of May, take the right choice

and vote for...

Something else?

-What?

-Uh?

-DIRECTOR:

-Cut there. Reset, please.

The Green Party knows that Europe isn't perfect.

But it also knows that making it better is about actions,

-not arguing like Lib Dem, Labour, the Tories and UKIP.

-No.

Whilst these guys have been fighting over Europe for the last four years,

the Green Party has been making it better for everyone.

-We booked this place weeks ago, you know.

-Oh, bore off, tuition fees.

As one of the largest parties in Europe, they've been busy,

helping to cap bankers' bonuses, improve human rights for workers,

make the EU more accountable.

They're the only ones fighting fracking

and they are the only ones standing up to the secret trade deals

which are being written so that US corporations have the power to

privatise our public services and the NHS. Europe does a lot for us.

But it can only become the Europe we need

if there are more Green MEPs in there, making a difference.

And because the vote at the Euro elections is proportional,

every Green vote counts.

If you vote Green on 22 May you will get more Green MEPs.

So, if you think that Europe should be a shouting match, then fine.

Go and talk to those guys.

But if you think we should be making a Europe

that is fairer for everyone,

then vote Green.

It's for the common good.
